Fuwanovel Confessions

[Templarseeker]

Confession: I'm so excited and thrilled regarding the prospect of finally going to resume my college studies since I put it on hold due to financial difficulties and personal issues. The only thing is that I have no idea which Course to take as I didn't like my first one since it wasn't my choice and my parents forced me to take it since they wanted me too... Hope something comes up in mind. 

In addition, I'm somehow getting awfully sick and tired of my parent pestering about getting a job as soon as possible?! It really gets on my nerves when they like to talk about "what ifs" and comparing me to some other people which they see in their eyes as the ideal example of a human being!  They should know that its up to me to decide which job I would like to have and when to take it god damn it! 

Really want to bark back at them but afraid to do so since they might have a heart attack

Nice. Enjoy :3

I was supposed to gift someone Danganronpa, but herpaderp no1 was able to do that Scavenger Hunt 'cept Ren, and he only did it for bragging rights ._. (no take backs btw!)

Confession: I'm finally glad to see Eclipsed give in and change his avatar to something random, and keeping to his title of just "Pink Hair".  It really seems like you've figured things out Eclipsed.  

[Arcadeotic]

Confession: I saw Aniki in the chat today

Spoiler

It was fun talking to him, now he can rest in peace once more

T-30 minutes before I find out if I can keep reading Noble Works the rest of the day or if I have to sit in a court room and leech free wifi to play Fate: Grand/Order while I think of a way to not get picked for Jury Duty. Maybe saying something like "Fry them all and let God sort them out" ... or "I can't wait to vote for Donald Trump for President." ... no, I'm a registered Democrat so that probably won't fly ... "I like Japanese porn games" ... "Shizuru-sensei is best grill" ... "Virginity defeated. Congratulations." ...

Mumbling all of those in the 5 minutes before the actual selection should probably do the trick.  You've already gone down the Japanimu rabbit hole, so dignity be damned. You Waifu is more important!

Speaking of Trump, I found a pretty fun game you might like for a few minutes. http://omg.topherchris.com/TRUMPGASM/

Confession: I have no idea what kind of magical white box I just installed in my room, but this netgear switch should not be able to merge my two networks like it does.  My computer is connected to two routers simultaneously at the moment and I'm fucking shocked that it worked out like that. Beyond expectations.

Confession: I don't understand what's going on here since I have practically no understanding of networking.

[OriginalRen]

Confession: I occasionally get horny when looking at figurines which are meant to be sexualized. This generally leads me to believe that I am in dire need of the purchase, however I end up providing myself self-pleasure in order to calm myself down and prevent that from happening.

Confession #2: I watch the Gurren Lagann giga drill break scene (the first one) every few months to remind myself to never give up on anything in life. I still, to this day, get shivers down my spine from that scene. It is absolutely beautiful.

When you notice you got serious issues with your Internet. Apparently my IP address is in a city 200 miles away and I got 80% packet loss. Incompetent fools which activated my Internet subscription?

[Valmore]

Confession:

And I managed to avoid getting picked again! Maybe telling the lawyer that "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?" is the dumbest question ever sealed it.

Confession: I would like to be someone's reliable senpai one day, but the only younger person suitable for it doesn't want to be my kouhai. 

[Kenshin_sama]

Confession: After talking about the problems I had in the Army during group therapy, some people started telling me that I have PTSD. My mom and brother thought I had it too for some time also, but I just couldn't bring myself to believe it till now. I didn't want to think I was in it that deep. But on the plus side, this could mean I'd qualify for 100% disability instead of the 50% I'm currently getting. Hopefully that comes out well enough.

Hopefully that leads to a cure. Whatever is the best for you, man. <3

That's the sucky part of mental illnesses like this, there is no cure for it. The best you can do is try to manage it and cope with it. But with the therapy I've been getting, it's becoming a lot easier to deal with my stress than it was when I first left the service.

I appreciate the encouragement though. It really does mean a lot to me.

Meant treatment, sorry for the mix-up. I'm glad therapy is helping.

PTSD is really hard to armchair diagnose.  I'm not saying you might not have it, but having other people who aren't trained psychologists say it is really unreliable.  I guess if you are going to try for 100% disability you would probably have to get it officially diagnosed anyway.  Like you said, either way its a positive(?), and if you do have it, you could at least get treatment.

Yeah, that's part of the reason I didn't buy it at first. In fact, I'm still not entirely sure I have it, but that might explain why I've been having issues with depression for over 5 years, and why I'm so anxious about getting a job. When I was enlisted, my self-esteem was virtually null. I sucked at my job, my supervisor and squad leader hated me, my co-workers didn't want to talk to me, one guy with PTSD screamed at me, and almost every day at work was miserable because everybody around me was usually in a bad mood (including sergeants). It was kinda like that for my training too, except there were more people I got along with at the time and a somewhat better atmosphere (even in boot camp, lol). Towards the end of my enlistment, I could not go a day without panicking, and I wanted to kill myself. I had thought about jumping out of a window from a 3rd story of a building or banging my head on a sharp corner of a desk until I died. If I had been carrying a gun at the time, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

But see, it's kinda weird. I never actually tried to acknowledge this as a problem until I started talking about it in my group therapy. I thought the reason I was so scared to get a job anymore was because of general anxiety. And who knows, maybe it is. I don't get the same flashbacks that the others in my group diagnosed with PTSD do, but the thought of getting a job does scare the hell out of me. Well, whatever the case may be, I'll know more once I get a proper diagnosis.

It's always good for their concern and it's certainly a possibility, but it's definitely something a professional needs to diagnose. There are so many kinds of depression out there, and they all suck. I should know, I've been working on mine for years now. Best of luck!

[Fred the Barber]

So, in the ongoing "Fred quit his job and is interviewing" saga:

Confession: I got my first rejection today

Confession 2: But I got my first offer last week

I just finished my third full-day interview today (so I'm absolutely exhausted), and my last full-day interview is Friday, so I'll probably hear back from both of those mid or late next week. I have no idea why I started up four of these in parallel - interviewing is vastly more taxing than just working... hopefully I won't do this again for a long time.

[Abyssal Monkey]

I posted it in the Fire Emblem thread, but I wanna post it here, because why not.

Confession: regarding the new fire emblem game, fates, this sums up my experience really nicely:

私は見た，落ちた，買った。

Confession 2: I'm somewhat proud that I made that parody with japanese that I actually know.  Sad that I can't actually read it due to the font being so damn small.

[crunchytaco]

Confession: I'm likely to still recommend you all not to get married, after disappearing from here for over half a year.

I moved back from Hawaii after one month of staying there. We never had the chance to explore how our lives would have been there. I had to return to California to sign papers for the family business, and in the process revealed to my parents my relationship and the existence of their lovely grand daughter. 

My wife and I haven't talked in 2 days, and we're likely to get separated.
